RICHARD H. WAGNER, OF NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,901, dated January 21, 1890.

- Application tiled July 30, 1889. Serial No. 319,166' (No model.)

ing had to the accompanying drawings, and

to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to fly-nets, and aims to secure the durability of that class of ilynets which use lashes of hemp, jute, cotton, dac. Experience has shown th at the laslrfast- `eners which are made of iron soon rust andl weaken the lashes and cause them to break at the point of fastening with the straps.

My invention is a supplemental strap between which and the main strap the lashes are placed and secured by a staple-fastening which passes through the two straps and straddles the lash, the ends of the staple being clinched.

The improvement further consists in the novel features which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and vwhich are shown in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a fly-net embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a detailed section on the line x m of Fig. l on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a detailed view showing the lash doubled on itself, each end being fastened by a staple.

The ily-net is of ordinary arrangement, being composed of the longitudinal straps A and the lashes B. The breaststrap C, having lashes D, is fastened at its ends in the usual way to the main part of the net. A supplementary strap E is provided for each strap A and is placed opposite said strap. The lashes B are placed between the two straps A and E, and are held therein by the fastenings F, which are staples -driven through the two straps and astraddle of the lashes, the ends of the staples being clinched on the side of the strap opposite to that which it entered.' The breast-strap C has a supplementary strap G, the lashes D being held between the two staples by fastenings F. Each lash D is doubled on itself, forming two ends, which ends are passed between the straps C and G and secured by fastenings F, as hcreinbefore mentioned. I

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

l. A fly-net composed of lashes and a series of longitudinal imperforate straps and a correspondingseries of imperforate supplemental straps, the said supplemental straps being superirnposed on the said main straps, and the lashes placed between the main and supplemental straps and held in place by fasteners, which fasteners hold the said main and supplemental straps together and surround. and bind the lashes between them, substantially as shown and hereinbefore described.

2. In a fly-net, the combination, with the main and supplemental straps C and G, of the lash doubled on itself, forming two ends,wl1ich ends are passed between the staples, and fastenings for securing the two straps together and clamping said ends between the straps, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I afx my signature in presence ,of two witnesses.
